Give them some time. This is a toughie for them to maneuver. I suspect they'll start reporting the riots in Argentina with Bush's face plastered all over it....then quietly sneak in "Oh, by the way, look what's happening in Paris". Only then will the MSM place it as a headline.
"On the same day the teenagers died, police in nearby Epinay arrested three men who allegedly beat a visiting photographer to death. The man worked for a lighting company and had stopped his car at a housing project to take pictures of light fixtures when he was assaulted in front of his family, police said."

Quick...run to the UN.
Dang your fast. Thanks!
“The night's activity: 1295 vehicles torched, 312 arrests, and Paris hit for the first time since the riots started. In Evreux, rampaging youths armed with baseball bats directly confronted riot police.
Violent confrontations between riot police and hooded youths took place in Evreux where the shopping center 'du quartier de La Madeleine' was hit by extensive damage. There were injuries on both sides but police authorities were unable to supply any numbers (or unwilling to). A McDonalds in Corbeil-Essonnes was demolished. 2 people suffered smoke inhalation when hundreds were evacuated from a building in Athis-Mons. In the Mureaux, 30 rioters on a roof, under the spotlights of a helicopter, threw objects at riot police.
Gunfire and cars torched in the City of Light; Chiraq silent
4 cars were torched in the rue Dupuis, near Place de la République, in a neighborhood were street lighting has been out of order for several days. Towards 9PM the rue Béranger (near the rue Dupuis) was closed off after residents reported gunfire from the rooftops. Once police left the area youths were seen torching vehicles causing an explosion which spread fire to the stairway of a building. Sunday morning, the police have issued a warning to neighborhood merchants to be careful (ie. you are on your own, people!).
Still no word from President of Ripoublika Franska, Jack Chiraq.
Françaises, Français, vous êtes dans la merde jusqu'au cou, Françaises, Français, démerdez-vous!”
It was France who harbored the fanatical Ayatollah and allowed his return to Iran, which led to their perverted "Islamic Republic", and then to the 444 days of Infamy tolerated by the pissant Jimmy Carter.
Much of which leads us to the debacles we have today. French complicity, French and Carter cowardice and an emboldened muslim horde.
“There were no reports of serious injury.”
Does ANYBODY believe this?!

Only a Democrat.
Wonder who has to go out and count these? Talk about your crappy jobs.
The French have a solution that is very capable of dealing with rioting Muslims. It is the French Foreign Legion.
The kids in France seem to be ahead of the political leadership. They're at war against radical islam.
You'd think...but with their history, I wouldn't be surprised if this sped up their entrance.
BTT
Forget about the National Guard. What would "you" do if this was happening outisde your house in the burbs? I have a great second-story window with optimal view of the street. It would make a wonderful watch tower. I'd be damned if I'd let these bastards destory my community while the government sat on its feet. At some point, it's time for men to grow pair and fight for their freedom and property.
Frog grow a pair, not likely.
WOW!!! All of this because Lance Armstrong won the Tour De France.
Who does?
Now is the time to kick them off the security council of the UN, before sending the UN to Zimbabwe.
What is the problem?
I have been a long time advocate of a new UN HQ in Harare, Zim.
Why, a large plat was just recently bulldozed and could be had cheap! (near downtown)
Just think how happy the delegates would be, being out of big bad America and so close to their tribal lands!
Pls reconsider
Also the old UN building could become something NYC truly needs, INDOOR PARKING.
> If poverty were a cause, would not one expect to see widespread looting?
Good point. However, I think (with the exception of last night's foray into central Paris) the "youths" are nuking their own neighborhoods.
Looks like the story is gonna break out of its cage today. Heard on local ABC TV that 1,000 cars burned last night and that most of the vandals were 'Muslims from north Africa'. This must mean that some very bad things happened in France last night.
